A spreadsheet is a rectangular grid used to collect and calculate data. It is basically an electronic version of an accountant's ledger book. It allows you to figure totals, calculate formulas, sort information, and translate the information in a spreadsheet into graphs. It can also be used as a database manager to keep track of information that can be held in a list, such as client/customer information or employee records.
